Cardiovascular Surgeon

A cardiovascular surgeon is a physician who has specialized in heart diseases, conditions and treatment procedures. After earning a medical education, these professionals continue studying for many years, focusing on the heart and the way it works, as well as procedures that repair heart and blood vessel damage. Cardiovascular surgeons are trained to identify heart or blood vessel damage, create treatment plans for patients with the ultimate goal of achieving the highest possible level of health, and perform surgeries. Cardiovascular surgeons work long hours and are on-call often, which contributes to the stress of the job. However, these surgeons always have a team of medical professionals by their side, to offer assistance and support with each procedure. In order to become a cardiovascular surgeon one must earn a bachelor's degree, take the MCAT, apply to medical school, pass the United States Medical Licensing Program, take part in a residency program, obtain a fellowship program, and pass the American Board of Medical Specialties certification examination. The median annual salary for cardiovascular surgeons is $353, 627.
